As to purchasing books from McMillan, please note the following, pasted direct:

"My online store does not work, period. I may get it fixed, some day, but I know not when. So, if you want to order a book or books with a credit card, no problem -- just call me up at 520-529-6636, or email me your card number in two separate emails, for security purposes. I can take any credit card save American Express."

Or you can email Dennis direct at: dennismcmillan @ AOL dot com.

I have a handful of over-run Morocco states of each of the four Dennis McMillan titles. These volumes, quarter-Morocco bound with hand French-marbled paper in a morocco slipcase, lack the onion-skin flyleaf with author's letter and signature essential to the limited first state, but remain a handsome collectible nonetheless. Unopened and unsigned, $60.Opened and signed, $75.

I have 16 boxed quarter morocco overruns of The Price of the Ticketsigned by both Jim Nisbet and S. Clay Wilson. Priced at $75, half of any funds due to the sale of this particular book will be donated toThe S. Clay Wilson Special Needs Trust.
